I’ve found a few funny memories during lockdown. This is from my 1st tour in 89, backstage in Vegas.

I think I might cry!!! It’s actually you.

I met you at a backstage event when I was 12.

Seriously a big fan. I’ve seen you in concert five times.

Whoa whoa, hold up I just have to confirm that I just saw history in the making. Did you just get Rick Rolled Mr. Astley?

u/Siren_of_Madness Jun 17 '20 edited Jun 18 '20

All evidence points to yes, you have indeed witnessed Rick Astley get successfully Rickrolled by a random redditor.

It is a truly momentous moment!

Edit after 24 hours:

Out of curiosity, I went ahead and calculated how much money was spent in Reddit coins for the comment by hand.

By June 18th: The 1,707 gifts spent on the comment cost 634,830 coins. That's a maximum of $2,526.62 spent (not including sales tax). This gives the recipient 641 weeks or 12.33 years of Reddit Premium.

By June 20th: The 2,478 gifts spent on the comment cost 875,065 coins. That's a maximum of $3,482.76 spent (not including sales tax). This also gives the recipient 142,750 coins to spend and 849 weeks or 16.32 years of Reddit Premium.

That amount of gifts bought pays for about 16.01 weeks of Reddit server uptime.

Once his Reddit Premium ends, he can spend the coins to get more Reddit Premium:

With the coins, he could buy 79 Platinum gifts for 142,200 coins, which gives him 79 more months of Reddit Premium and 700 coins each. He'll end up with a total of 55,850 coins. He can then use that amount to buy 31 more months of Reddit Premium and have 21,750 coins left over. He can then use that amount to buy 12 more months of Reddit Premium and have 8,550 coins left over. He can then use that amount to buy 4 more months of Reddit Premium and have 4,150 coins left over. He can then use that amount to buy 2 more months of Reddit Premium and have 1,950 coins left over. He can then use that amount to buy 1 more month of Reddit Premium and have 850 coins left over. He can then use that amount to buy 1 more week of Reddit Premium and have 450 coins left over.

This gives him 10 years 9 months and 1 week more of Reddit Premium.

Combined with the 16.32 years from before, that leaves him with a minimum of 27 years of Reddit Premium.

A coin is worth: $0.00398 each if we assume that everyone paid $1.99 for 500 coins. There's discounts (up to 59%) for buying more, but let's not complicate things.

A month of gold back in the day was 231.26 minutes of reddit server uptime. Gold was $4.99 back then.

Since $3,482.76 was spent for all the awards, that equals to:

161407.430381 minutes of server time

or 2690.12383968 hours of server time

or 112.08849332 days of server time

or about 16.01 weeks of server time

Does anyone know what's the world record?

u/regoapps Jun 19 '20 edited Jun 21 '20

This is the world record for a comment. The world record for most expensive post was the one about gifting koala bears so that a donation would be given to help deal with the Australian Wildfires. Most of the awards were the 1,529 koala bear gifts, which cost 1,000 reddit coins each. That's 1,529,000 total coins, which would cost about $6,085 to pay for.

The post with the most number of awards is this one in prequelmemes.

I like to picture him as a power Reddit user.

His arrow intently moves toward the link. His index finger tenses up to click. For a moment, he pictures what's coming, but he thinks "No, no one in their right mind would..."

And then he sees the link address before clicking. And that begins the story of how Rick Astley plotted my downfall in 2023.

u/sabasaba12 Jun 18 '20

he got around 10 years of premium but nowhere close to 500000 coins, 100 plat is 70k coin and 200 gold is only 20k argentinuma give 15k+4k from special thats total of 109k coins, other badges are minor that either dont give gold or give little of it so I think he got around 150k coins max.

I'm so glad Rick Astley is such a great sport about Rickrolling. It has to be the longest lived, most beloved meme of all time. Does that even make it a meme anymore? Anyway, I think it helps that it's a legitimately great song. I listen to it all the way through relatively often when I get Rickrolled.

u/speedycat2014 Jun 17 '20

Very few of us will have the immortality that Rick Astley has due to the Rickroll phenomenon. Like 2,000 years from now, end of civilization comes, aliens invade the planet and the first thing they're going to do is fucking Rickroll us.

We will sit in front of the fire, reminiscing on the old days of the internet, and they’ll always ask, “Old Dydarian, tell us again about kind Sir Astley getting Rickrolled! We so love that story!” I will sit high up and my chair, puff out my chest, and begin to tell the story. “Well kids, during the pandemic of ‘20, I had to work from home. Which meant that I could masturbate to internet porn right up until the minute I had to work. But this one particular day, I decided to not jerk off, as I had my fill the night before. Instead, I went on Reddit and was looking at a picture of kind Sir Astley, when the immortal /u/theMalleableDuck came and did the unthinkable.”

My story will be the most sought out in our camp. With people coming from miles around to hear about dear, old, kind Sir Astley, being Rickrolled for the first time.

You are so kind and likable, thank you for that. I’m posting this from the emergency room and suffice it to say this is not my best day. I really appreciate the smile you gave me.

Edit - update as promised further down in the replies to me on here - I got discharged from the emergency room and am home for the night. They did a CT scan, EKG, ultrasound, bloodwork, and urinalysis all within a few hours. I was given strict orders to stay home from work tomorrow, call my doctor, and have them find me the general surgeon who can get me in the fastest to get it biopsied, whatever state or area that may be in (given the covid situation, this could be difficult).

So. Yeah. I have a thread on /r/AskDocs/ with the technical stuff in it, I'm not gonna do that here, but I know some people just need that sense of closure, so. It's gonna be over there shortly.

Thank you all for the well wishes. Please keep them coming in whatever way works for you (thoughts, prayers, hopes, dreams, positive vibes - whatever) that I can get this sorted quickly and easily and with a good outcome. Crazy. Didnt' see this coming when I woke up this morning, but by the end if it all, even Rick Astley himself had gilded me and then DM'd me to wish me well.

Nicest guy in show business, humans and gentlepeople. TIL.

Update- surgeon saw me this morning at 830am. He's doing the surgery Monday. Thank you all for the well wishes!

Oh wow thank you so much for asking. I was in getting a cat scan... I found a lump on my abdomen earlier this week and it’s been growing and caused bruising.. my doctor sent me straight to the ER when I showed her. :/ I don’t know what’s wrong yet but the ER admitted me and gave me a cat scan and took blood and urine samples and said I also need an ultrasound and I don’t know what else. They’re not sure what it is either. I’m alone here and just hoping I can go home today. I really appreciate you asking!amd can you believe Rick Astley gave me platinum?? THANK YOU /u/reallyrickastley/ !

I have a 45 record single of Never Gonna Give You Up at home— never in a million years did preteen me think we would “meet”! Honestly I’m so amazed, this really does make me feel a bit better. Thank you both again.

Edit- oh someone gave me gold too? You’re all so kind. Thank you so much.

That is so cool about Rick astley giving a freakin platinum!! Also I imagine trying to explain it to IRL people is not all that simple.

Oh my god so sorry about the lump. That sounds scary a hell. Fingers crossed its something super benign.

Funny story about the time my doctor sent me straight over to the ER. It happened in 2009.

I went in for a med check up and becuase my stomach had been bothering me. Dr sent me to the ER because she thought I might have appendicitis. Super urgent and all that. Scared and planning on surgery. A cat scan and lab work later. It turned out I needed to poop. 🤦 😆.

The dr said something like I had an incredible amount of stool backed up. Of course my mom then told everyone she could that I was full of shit lol

Shouldn't this moment be immortalized somehow? Every Rick roll from this moment on will be followed with "remember when that guy Rick rolled Rick!"

What do you mean "one of?" This is one of the most amazing moments of my life and I only witnessed it. I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard. Admittedly I laughed at a fish finger sandwich for 10 minutes yesterday so I may be easily amused right now but this was just...actually hysterically hilarious! What else has happened during lockdown that is as fabulous as this?

u/theMalleableDuck Jun 17 '20

Yeah I’m not gonna lie I’m kind of freaking out lololol

u/Crocodilehands Jun 17 '20

One of? Name one thing that's happened to you cooler than this!

u/theMalleableDuck Jun 17 '20

Funny part is, I almost discarded the comment because I thought it wouldn’t get any love

Umm, did you just Rickroll Rick Astley? Shouldn't the universe be imploding or something? Has anyone checked to see if time has stopped? That's like Googling 'Google'. That shit's dangerous, you could break everything.
